Unfair Match-ups in High School sports

Here’s something I don’t and never will understand about high school sports in Rhode Island; why do we have private schools playing sports against public schools? Take La Salle High School and Bishop Hendriken High School for example. Two schools that have kids from all over Rhode Island and Massachusetts playing against a bunch of kids from one small town. Now do the math, is that fair? No way. Hendriken has sent several football players to the NFL, including Washington Redskins free safety, Will Blackmon. And on top of that, they have a defensive end who just committed to the University of Michigan…yes you read that right, Michigan. You know like the same college that Tom Brady went to…Michigan. So since the patriots have only sent one athlete to the NFL in history (Mike Cloud, former NFL running back), someone needs to explain to me how this competition is fair.
